The president's message found an echoing note in every American breast. It was the expected, and it was the desired reply to Germany, and, as usual. j our president clothed his thoughts with words which breathed lifé and vigorous vitality: words whieh stung and bit deep. ° Peace may not. be far away, but the shortest route to peace leads over the top. That path Amer- ica andgher allies have chosen to take, and they will tread it without flinching, even tho the way be long and the going hard. When the time comes to disenss peace, the terms will be dictated not by the wiley diplomats of Potsdam, but by the bluff, brunt warriors who have thrown back the minions of autoeracy from the blood-stained soil of France and Belgium. There will be no triekery; there will be no star chamber conferences: no private agreements. The cards will be laid on the table, and the trumps will be held by Marshall Woeh, Marshall Haig and our own * Black Jack’? Pershing And it will be a peace that will endure and that even the most benighted slave may unders' and. Ht will be a peace that is real and substantial, with Germany beatento her, knees, subdued not by diplomacy, nor by treaties, but by force of arms, the one power which Germany can understand and to which it will bow. oe 8 The shortest road to peace lies over the top. Our boys are taking that road, over there in France, in Belgium, in Flanders and in Alsace-Lorraine. We, here at home, if sincere in our desire for peace must emulate their example by sending our dollars over the top. The German peace offensiye has from the first been largely camouflage designed to throw dust in the eyes of victorious democracy and to gain time for the erushed and tottering legions of auto- cracy. The breach of ordinary diplomatic courtesy which resulted in Germany's reply to the president being made public before it reached the executive o..ee at Washington had but one purpose —an ap- peal to public sentiment made by Germany in the belief that pacifism still has a place in America, and that there might be brought. to bear upon our president public peace pressure that would induce him to waver in his firm determination that this: war be ended right or not at all.

Half-Century Controversy Ends by Common \ Consent. ° Springfield, Mo., Sept. 29.—The proposal that St. Clair cOunty compromise its long out- standing railroad bond indebtedness appears / to have carried in yesterday’s election by a majority, of more than 1,400 votes. The pro- posal, which will end a controversy of forty- | eight years’ standing, is that the county will pay $585,000 on an accumulated debt of $4.- 000,000. A’ proposal to compromise the debt for $550,000 was rejected by the taxpayers a year ago. The original bonds were issued by the county in 1870 to build the'Tebo & Neosho railroad, but were repudiated when the rail- road company failed to construct the road. The matter has been a subject of bitter con- troversy ever since, the bond holders suing and receiving judgments and the county re- sisting payment. Judges of the county courts have several times served jail sentences for failure to carry out orders of the federal court toward paying the indebtedness. Since the judgments were outlawed every ten years unless renewed, the bond holders have renewed the litigation every nine years, the original bonded debt of $231.000, mount- ing to the present total of $4,000,000.—Jour- nal-World, Lawrence, Kan. : * * * 3 The above news dispatch records the closing constitution which made “the sky the limit” for bonded indebtedness. | What of our own county? Burleigh county’s bonded indebtedness at the, amount $71,000 has just been paid off from the bonds issued to take up outstanding road war- rants, and the remainder consists of ‘seed grain | & bonds due in 1919. Burleigh county at the present time is compara- sessed valuation of $9,134,806, and under the pro- which the league asks the voters to approve at the November election, we may bond up to that amount, for the financing of any scheme which sioners. Onur tax rate for state, county and school pur- poses has been as high as 65.2 mills in the county and 71 mills in the city of Bismarck within the last two years, and the revenue so levied has been applied almost entirely to current running ex- penses. We have had no large bonded debt to re- i tire; there has been no necessity for the accumu- jlation of a large sinking fund. For the current ing fund, as against $20,000 in 1917. Burleigh county affairs, in spite of a generous investment jin roads and bridges, are fast approaching the stage where a reduction in the tax rate can be made. But, we will never see lower taxes if the county is given constitutional authority to embark upon a wholesale bonding campaign, with the sky the limit, and under a board of county commis- sioners who are pledged to uphold the socialistic for such a dissipation of public funds. | WITH THE EDITORS | DAVE SPILLS THE BEANS. A few days ago, certain league papers heralded | ito the world with great big scare head lines that; Nonpartisan state ticket. Of course, they all now is the over-subscription of the Fourth Liberty loan. Germany has triumphed to some extent in! the lagging of this loan. We must prove to the kaiser that he has again guessed wrong. We must show him we are not a race of quitters. A half billion dollars must be subseribed each day for the remainder of the week to make this loan a success. America can do it; it should and must do it. Those of us who have already bought should buy more- we haven't gone our limit, yet; We haven't begun to go to the extent to which our boys are going daily, over there in the face of the enemy. NO MOVING DAY. Foch moves to attack on the western front, Ger-| porters in seven states, and spills the beans all many makes a few premature peace moves, but the American Mr. City Dweller will not move this fall, .for they’ve boosted moving rates. It won’t be hard on anybody to forego the usual ripping up and tearing down and “getting to. rights” which once a year seems part of many Nomandic natures. ais The needles of loyal knitters will leap on unin- terrupted, and each “head of ‘the house” will re- quire no “day off” from his war work to safe- guard the family treasures in transit. Don’t grumble about the neighborhood and be- moan the fact that some friends elsewhere in jknew well nuf how much Plaza George amounts to, which is about as much as two hoops on a tin jean, but they played ’er up purty strong to make | |the league members think that George is a big! ;man and that his “coming out” for Frazier was significant. He Which was all well and good as far as it went. | | George gained a little free publicity, and even had |some of the papers saying a few good words about him, \(Which, by the way, don’t happen to George |very often.) Anyway, all was lovely—and Plaza | George felt purty good about it. For awhile. | Then, all at once along comes Dave Larin of the | Parshall Post, one of the strongest Townley sup- over the clean tablecloth n’everything. Dave and George have lived neighbors for quite a spell— and this is what Dave said about George in last week’s issue of the Parshall Post: “All they have todo is to feed Smithy a little advertising and he will reverse himself, blow hot or cold, jump through a hoop, lay down, roll over or otherwise play the clown. It isn’t much won- der Smithy is a down-and-outer, an object of ridi- cule and suspicion.” How is that-one, George? We hope it won't cause George to “come out” for Doyle!—Wells County Farmer. i a a P yosed “no limit” amendment to the constitution! putts, 1a.

It ie simple and cheap to make, but it really has no. equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or. less. Get. 214 ounces. of Pinex from any drugeist, pour it into a pint bottle, and add plain ffranulated sugar syrup to make a full pint, If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or_corn syrup, | instead of sugar syrup. Either way it tastes good, keeps. perfectly, an | lasts a family a long time. : It’s truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air pas- gage of the throat and lungs—loosens, and raises the phlegm, soothes and heala the. membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat, tickle and dreade cough disappear entirely. Nothing bet- ter for bronchitis, spasmodic croup, whooping. cough gr ‘bronchial: asthmas. Pinex is a special-and highly concen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, known the ‘world pver for its healing effect on the. membranes. ‘Avoid disappointment by asking your druggist for “21% ounces. of Pinex” with full directions and don’t accept anys thing ¢ise.
